Proof is shooting not looks or feel when you hand your gun to a friend and tell the price.
I shot too many Ruger's to 1/2" at 50 yards and shot pop cans at 200 yards to think many thousands would make the gun better. Every S&W 29 would do 1/2" at 50 meters for me.
Something to be said for custom but it is how you feel and defend the money spent.
I think to defend the money spent is the worst to consider. But if you are rich, buy it but to assume it will shoot better then a Ruger or BFR, I have bad news for you.
The BFR has been the best and only gun finish that looks like a Ruger instead of a Freedom is the problem but I will out shoot every Freedom ever made.
It comes down to BLING and money thrown away.
I am a nut and have shot to 1/2" at 100 yards so if a gun is pretty at 5X the cost and does not shoot 1/4" at 100 what do you have? With the amount of money I expect 1/4" at 100.
I shot too many custom guns that only did what factory guns do.
I built many custom rifles with BLING but I made them shoot unreal groups at the same time.
What do you do to improve a revolver other then sights or finish?
SBH with over 80,000 rounds at 200 yards. Attachment 165778 1-5/16"
I really need to see what $3,800 does. Can a safe Queen SHOOT?
